What is Big Woods : The Hunting Stories about?

<i>Big Woods</i> is a collection of Faulkner's best hunting stories. An avid hunter as well as one of America's greatest writers, Faulkner spent many days hunting in the big woods near Oxford, Mississippi. Included here is his most famous hunting story, "The Bear," as well as "The Old People," "A Bear Hunt," and "Race at Morning." Together, these four stories are considered to be the finest hunting stories ever written. Each is introduced with a prelude that weaves these tales together into a modern American classic. In <i>Big Woods</i>, Faulkner creates a variety of unforgettable characters: Sam Fathers, the Indian guide; the bear, Old Ben; and his bear dog, Lion; the young boy; and Major de Spain. Faulkner also wrote eloquently about our loss of hunting area. Even in the '40s and '50s Faulkner presaged the incipient decrease in wildlife habitat. "… In the old days we came in wagons and pitch a camp in the rain…and rise at daylight the next morning and hunt…Now a man has to drive two hundred miles to find enough woods to harbor game worth hunting." This book, a classic collection of sporting literature, belongs in the library of every sportsman. <i>Big Woods</i> was published in 1
